General Settings

Output Folder

Recorded videos are saved in Screenbits folder under the Documents folder by default.

To change the output folder:

  1. Select Settings from the Recording menu to open the Settings view.
  2. Click the Browse... button from the General tab under the Output section.
  3. Select the folder you want to save videos into.
  4. Click OK to close Settings view.

Note: Make sure your user account has write access to the selected folder and also the folder is in a storage device/drive with enough free space.


Output File

You can enter a pattern for the name of each output file that is created by Screenbits. The following placeholders are available to use in the pattern:

Symbol Meaning Example
$Y Year 2017
$M Month 05
$D Day 10
$H Hour 03
$N Minute 55
$S Second 20

The default pattern for the file name is $Y-$M-$D_$H$N$S so using the default pattern, output file name for a recording process that started at 14/05/2017 00:48:49 is 2017-05-14_004849.mp4. If a file with the same name already exist, an underscore followed by a number will be added to the end of the name to make it unique. (e.g. 2017-05-14_004849_0001.mp4)
